At least, it's over according to Godwin's law, or what we usually mean when we say "Godwin's law", even though it's not exactly what Godwin meant.
The Bush and Kerry campaigns are embroiled in a flame war over the use of Nazi imagery in campaign ads. Since they apparently don't have anything meaningful to debate, like how to fix health care, education, Israel/Palestine, Iraq, North Korea, or social security, the obvious thing to do is to create TV ads that compare Bush to Hitler, then counter-ads that splice in above-mentioned Hitler footage with shots of Kerry, Gore, and Gephart, then emails that denounce the confusing above-mentioned spliced footage as "disgusting", then counter-emails that denounce above-mentioned email as, well, disgusting.
So now that the thread of political discourse has degenerated into a Hitler flame war, the ultimate destiny of all dessicated debate, we can finally unsubscribe and stop reading. This place was dead, anyway...
